The family, who currently receive around £22,000-a-year in child tax credits, are being put up in three flats in Bristol city centre while council chiefs try to find them a home.

Birmingham City Council said it had accepted the family's homelessness application after they were illegally evicted from their rented three-bed house but has struggled to find a property large enough to meet their needs.

The family had initially been forced to stay in Travelodge rooms after being evicted in June before they were moved on to other temporary homes in Staffordshire.

They estimate it is currently costing around £1,000-a-week to house them in Bristol.

“Emergency accommodation for the family-of-11 was found by the council on the same day.

“They are currently on the housing register at the highest priority banding however, there are very few six-bedroom properties available and they have been advised that they will need to bid both pro-actively and realistically.

“The council will continue to support the Hussain family until permanent accommodation can be found.”
